Seems a bit of a backward step reducing to a 30 min frequency, though GNE seem to be going backwards in other ways too - e.g. the debranding of flagship routes and resultant messy long-term operation of plain purple/gold/silver buses.
But its every 15 minutes between Town End Farm - Houghton-le-spring.
Only part of the 35 which will be Half Hourly is from Town End Farm - Boldon Asda (35) and then half hourly from Houghton-le-spring to Low Moorsley (35), and from Houghton-le-spring to Chester half hourly. (36)
Sunderland to South Shields will remain every 10 mins... so not much has changed tbh, its also being said about the plain buses today, these look to be temp.
